Lyle's basic package is $395, so if the quality of what you're looking at is equivalent to the Jamieson, you are probably on the high side. I think the laser is probably 1/3 of the price of the Jamieson system. I'd offer $125 and see how the seller responds.

How about springing some pieces of small diameter PVC pipe between the frame and the opposite wall?

Use a bucket filled from the shower. HTH

Seriously how fast and furiously do you flush?

You can. You just have to wait a long time for the BLO to fully cure. It takes 10 days to 2 weeks for BLO to cure on its own. If not fully cured, the solvents in the poly will react with the uncured BLO.

More of a big walk-in wardrobe really, but since it has a proper door and even a window, we dignify it with the title dressing room !

This has been an on-going project for some months, odd hours of work fitted in amongst more pressing stuff. However, today I moved the tools out and the clothes in !

I should stress this is not fine woodwork, this is basic built-in using painted mdf and even some screws....

View from the doorway - difficult even with a wide angle lens, but I'm sure you get the idea. The cupboards are 60cm (2ft) deep to allow full width for jackets etc.



There is a pull out hanging rail at 90° to make full use of the depth for trousers



The other side has a shallow cupboard for full length coats etc, plus a "window seat". This is also where the cable to the workshop is hidden on its way to the roof space, see thread "proper power".



The window seat lids lift to give access to his and hers laundry baskets



Then the bit that really amused Isabelle, the doors in the side of the shallow cupboard open to reveal an ironing board that hinges down



Here it is fully deployed, supported by a slide in bracket that lives in the front of one of the laundry baskets. There is a power point in the base of the cupboard to power the iron.



Just realised that in my haste to finish, I've not painted the inside of the ironing board cupboard. darn !
Also, the photos show up the 'orrible heating pipes on the back wall - must find a way to hide those...

Something is wrong. Mine runs smooth as silk.

Check to see that you have the cogs engaged properly and the small end has a tab that fits in a slot, make sure that is in.

Otherwise, return it for another

Hi Richard -

There are tools you don't have????



Cheers -

Steve I follow that Bell Forrest Products has free S&H over 100 bux which is potentially awesome from a wood source. But you lost me on TTW, and a code of TWW10.

Best I could guess was Joel at Tools for Working Wood . Wouldn't care to add a linkie?

Its not a lot but OK for $7. A Miller's Falls wood carving set in original box, Buck Brothers curved carving tool, a chisel marked "Robert Duke" "cast steel" and a couple block planes, a Stanley 60 1/2 parts plane, not shown (made a whole plane out of another 60 1/2 I had), and the prize, a P & C version of the 60 1/2 dated 1945. I had never heard of P&C planes; this one I'm almost certain was made by Millers Falls.

What is interesting to me is that the P & C block plane seems to be superior to my Stanley 60 1/2 which has been my favorite block plane. The P & C has a heavy casting (obvious in the second picture, P&C on the right) and if you look at the second picture you can see that the machined area where the iron rests is almost four times as large as the Stanley (on the left). Only downside is that the Hock iron in my Stanley will not fit the P & C.

I had read here that some of the Millers Falls planes were thought to be superior to their Stanley counterpart, in this case that appears to be true.

Are there many P & C planes out there? They may be more common out here in the west as P & C was located in Oregon. I'd never come across one before.

Ok,guess nobody knows.looks like I'm on my own to try it.
